Tech firm SB22 is introducing a virtual reality betting platform entitled VR22 that will drop fans into the best seats at a sporting event through VR and allow them to place real-time wagers, partake in interactive games and win merch or NFTs.
Through machine learning, artificial intelligence and hand-tracking tools, VR22 will mix 360-degree game streaming with betting functionality. The product is designed to be utilized by sports gaming operators, leagues and pro sports teams, all utilizing SB22’s proprietary transaction platform.
SB22 claims to be the first mobile-centric, iOS-native, fully automated, cloud capable and VR/AR ready tech platform in sports betting. Its iGaming and free-to-play platform, catered to meet Gaming Labs International’s standards, was built specifically for the U.S. market.
Back in December of 2020, the UK-based gambling firm Entain partnered with Verizon Media to similarly combine virtual reality with sports betting. In that case, users were virtually immersed inside sports venues with the option of placing bets on Entain platforms like BetMGM.
